Where the Heck Have I Been aka Everything Changes Now

I haven't been on here much, and I think that has been a good thing.
Why, exactly?
Well...
After losing our twins in November of 2015, and then our son in April of 2016, I had a lot on my mind, and I think I needed to process it.
And then...
in September...

It was shocking and unexpected, and I was honestly not surprised when at 6 weeks, I began spotting.
Except...I didn't lose the baby.

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant, with a due date of June 10.

It's been strange, and wonderful, and overwhelming at times. I didn't want this blog to become a chronicle of my pregnancy. It wouldn't have been fair to any of my children.

I'm doing well, past the horrible morning sickness of the first trimester, and well into the "smooth second."

Otherwise, things are much the same. Life clicks along. Gabe and I both work, and Ella is doing well in her schooling.

I wish I had more eloquent words, or some major words of wisdom, but I do not. This is perhaps the first time in my life where I have taken a gigantic step back from everything and just concentrated on staying well.

I've been in my bubble for the past 4 months or so and I'm slowly making my way out.

Hi Joanna! You popped into my head today and I just had to check in and see how you were doing! And I'm so happy that I did so I could tell you congratulations!! I'm so happy for you and will continue prayers for you to be health and that all will be well. Wishing you a Happy Spring from the northwoods. xoxo

About Me

I'm a Polish Chicago girl, temporarily relocated to the North Carolina Mountains. I'm married to Gabe, who's a pretty awesome guy. Together, we've built a pretty solid little life. We have two daughters who lights up this world, as well as babies that we'll meet in heaven some day. This blog is a reflection of my journey as a Christian, a Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister...as a person, really.

I've made a lot of mistakes, and I imagine I'll make even more. But my love for God and for my family is what keeps me going.
